Contract brewing and beverage
services to help grow your brands
We are a Pacific Northwest-based beverage contract packaging manufacturer.
Founded in 1987, Full Sail Brewing Company was an early pioneer in the craft brewing scene. With over 35 years of brewing and beverage manufacturing experience, we have earned over 300 awards and accolades including more than 200 gold medals. Our commitment to quality and innovation has enabled us to stay ahead of the curve and lead the way in the ever-evolving beverage industry. We have nearly two decades of experience working with local, regional, and multinational brands to help bring the finest quality beverages to the market. As an independent brewery and beverage manufacturer, we are proud of our rich history of sustainability and innovation, and our deep roots in the local community.
An Experienced Co-Pack Partner
Our facilities in Hood River, Oregon are capable of producing in excess of thirty million cases of beverage annually and we have both the technical expertise and requisite licensure to produce beer, wine, cider, seltzer and spirit-based RTDs in addition to non-alcoholic offerings.
Infrastructure and Equipment To Meet Your Needs
We operate a 200 BBL brewhouse with Meura Mash Filter and Alpha Laval Centrifuge. The packaging hall is equipped with high-speed Krones canning and bottling lines capable of filling most common vessel sizes and packaging into myriad configurations. Contract customers are able to leverage Full Sail’s established network of freight and warehouse operators as well as component sourcing and supply chain.

Knowledge and know how run deep at Full Sail. We have a robust, state of the art lab and QA department to ensure that every drop of liquid leaving our facility is of the highest quality. Additionally, our brew crew now lead by brewmaster Andrew Lamont has spearheaded multiple new product developments and launches. It’s no wonder Full Sail’s brands have won more than 200 gold medals through the years!
